The Toronto eatery, brought to Miami by hospitality king David Grutman, serves up cuisine that makes even the most staunch carnivores happy.

With a choice of the chef’s tasting menu or a la carte dishes, the pared-back decor ensures the food is always in the spotlight at this fine dining restaurant."

"Chef Jeremy Ford's food is as beautiful to view as it is delicious to eat. The menu, available a la carte or as an eight-course tasting menu, changes often, so it's hard to pinpoint one dish to try consistently. But if you're ordering a la carte, don't skip the snacks."

Hosting pieces inside and out by world-renowned graffiti artists, this restaurant is lovingly hipster chic, yet shockingly homey. The menu is simplistic in description, offering everyday items like braised short rib, pan-seared snapper and pork tenderloin."

"To this day, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar is one of my absolute favorite spots. It’s situated right in the heart of the ever-so-photographable Wynwood Walls, providing you with hella insta opportunities, while also filling you up with tapas inspired dishes. The guacamole is to die for."

"Another lovely choice when it comes to al fresco dining is The Café at Books & Books in Coral Gables. A charming experience awaits at this legendary independent bookstore with oodles of character and book-lined walls. Coral Gables is the mini-chain’s original location, with wrought iron chairs and tables situated inside a Spanish-style courtyard."

Realizing jacket-and-tie steakhouses weren’t cutting it in 2021, Christy’s new management shut the place down and re-imagined it as an art-filled meat palace, where you’ll enjoy a lengthy menu of prime cuts and fresh seafood under the watchful eye of provocative paintings. The cost: Starters $15 - $28, steaks $40 - $55, entrees $35 - $45How to book: Reserve via Resy."

Serving a variety of classic Italian dishes and hot and cold sandwiches, the casual café, also offers a limited beer and wine list, as well as a breakfast menu.

"Along with a number of iconic Miami dishes, the frita arrived in Magic City by way of refugees fleeing the Cuban revolution in the 1950’s. A Cuban riff on the classic hamburger, traditional fritas feature a beef patty accentuated with cumin, paprika and pepper, crowned with papas fritas (fried matchstick potatoes), nestled between slices of featherlight and crisp Cuban bread. El Rey de las Fritas has been hailed as one of the city’s best frita purveyors since the original outpost debuted in 1976."

"And if you’re looking for the best version of this Cuban hamburger - which consists of spiced meat and potato sticks between Cuban bread - come to El Rey de las Fritas. The bright, fluorescent diner specializes in the frita, serving eight versions of the sandwich souped-up with everything from a fried egg to plantains. The frita original and a batido (a Cuban milkshake) is still our favorite order though, as well as definitive proof that potato sticks make everything better."

"Burgers , Cuban"

"In business since 1991 and located at the rear of the hotel lobby, overlooking the Sealine Marina, this elegant Chinese establishment has earned a solid reputation for its attentive tableside service, white tablecoth-and-fresh-flower decor, and consistently excellent Hong Kong-style Cantonese cuisine. On one side, you have a view of the sunken kitchen sealed by a glass wall, where you can watch the expert chefs whip up masterful concoctions. On the other side of the open, airy dining room, you get sprawling views of Biscayne Bay and the Venetian Isles."

"Restaurants Chinese Omni. This nondescript, banquet hall-style restaurant does Chinese food for Americans, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if exotic cuisine isn’t your thing. Don’t miss Tony Chan’s Peking duck and its fried fish drizzled with the chef’s special sweet-and-sour sauce."

"Internationally renowned Chinese Restaurant in Miami, FL located inside the Doubletree Grand Hotel lobby, next to Biscayne Bay and the Sea Isles Marina"

"One of Miami’s most-respected chefs, Piyarat Arreeratn (a.k.a. Chef Bee) has brought inspired Thai food to several Miami restaurants, including the lauded, now-shuttered Khong River House. These days, the Chiang Rai native co-owns a hip, Thai street food-inspired Sunset Harbor destination with his mom, serving spicy spring rolls and sriracha wings, in a hip, industrial-cool space. Bee’s fare updates Thai classics, including Chiang Rai curry, an elevated riff on khao soi with braised beef and springy noodles in a fragrant yellow curry base."

"Led by beloved Miami chef Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, a.k.a. Chef Bee, NaiYaRa is a perfectly mismatched representation of what happens when past and present come together. Prepare for a flavor overload as Chef Bee uses locally sourced ingredients to meld Thai street food with Japanese specialties and serves them family-style. That means that you might see something like popcorn shrimp on the menu, but it will come with shiitake mushrooms and spicy mayonnaise."

"Serving up flavour-packed Thai street food inspired by the head chef’s childhood, NaiYaRa provides cool, fun surroundings to enjoy everything from signature cocktails to sweet and sour duck."
